Introduction

Industrial traceability requires more than lot IDs and spreadsheets. Parakeet Risk turns “where did this come from” and “who touched it when” into continuously collected, auditable evidence across materials, suppliers, facilities, shipments, and certifications—so manufacturers can respond instantly to recalls, import bans, and customer audits. See our sector capabilities in Manufacturing and Packaging.

Material Traceability

Parakeet connects supplier, production, and logistics data to provide end‑to‑end material genealogy—raw batch to finished SKU to distribution—alongside supporting evidence (e.g., certificates, test reports, CAPAs). The platform already emphasizes material traceability and audit documentation for packaging and consumer goods programs; see Packaging.

What this delivers

• Lot/batch genealogy: inbound receipt → WIP consumption → finished goods → shipment confirmations.

• Evidence registry: certificates, supplier attestations, inspection results, deviations, CAPAs, change controls (with QMS integration where applicable). See Pharma for QMS context and audit‑trail integrity under 21 CFR Part 11.

• Real‑time exceptions: missing certificates, expired approvals, non‑conforming lots, supplier risk alerts.

• Spreadsheet synergy: keep the Excel models teams rely on while adding automation, controls, and audit trails; see our approach in Features.

How it’s wired

• ERP/MRP: item masters, BOMs, POs/ASNs, production issues and receipts, shipment lines. Native integration example: NetSuite.

• QMS/Quality docs: deviations, CAPAs, SOPs, signatures; see Pharma.

• Communications and workflow: route exceptions to the tools teams already use (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Trello).

• Evidence generation: auto‑create reports and binders in Google Docs; keep deadlines visible in Google Calendar.

UFLPA Dossiers

Build shipment‑ or supplier‑level “evidence binders” to support U.S. import due diligence:

• Supply chain mapping: supplier hierarchy and material lineage that ties to POs, lots, and shipments.

• Documentary evidence: supplier declarations, contracts, certificates, inspections, and logistics records organized to the shipment or SKU.

• Continuous monitoring: alerts when attestations expire or risk signals change; push to team channels via Slack/Teams.

• Rapid response: one‑click dossier export; task orchestration and assignments in Trello from Parakeet events.

How Parakeet helps

• Central source of truth for trade, supplier, and production data with immutable audit trails.

• Automated evidence collection and formatting via the Rosella AI Agent.

EUDR Due‑Diligence Statements (DDS)

Manage product‑ and consignment‑level DDS packages using the same traceability graph:

• Product scope and supplier linkages with item/BOM references from ERP.

• Risk assessment records and mitigation actions with timestamps and owners.

• Evidence attachments: certifications, inspection reports, and supply‑chain assertions; auto‑generated narrative summaries in Google Docs.

• Versioning and audit trails: every change tracked to user, time, and source system; Part 11‑style controls where applicable (see Pharma).

Where‑Used / Where‑Shipped

“Where‑Used” answers: which SKUs, customers, and sites are impacted if a raw material, part, or batch is flagged? “Where‑Shipped” answers: where finished goods containing that input have already gone.

Typical queries this enables

• Component recall: list in‑field shipments and customers containing part X, lot Y.

• Import restrictions: identify open POs and upcoming builds that would include flagged supplier Z.

• Customer notifications: generate affected‑SKU letters and evidence packages in Docs; schedule follow‑ups in Calendar; coordinate response in Slack/Teams.

Evidence model and automations

The platform unifies objects, joins, and evidence trails. A concise schema view:

Object	Key IDs	Evidence attached	Primary joins	Automations
Material Lot/Batch	Lot ID, Item, Date Codes	Certificates, test results, QC approvals	Receipts, WIP issues, FG builds	Expiry alerts; missing‑evidence detection
Supplier	Supplier ID, Parent	Attestations, audits, contracts	Items, POs, Shipments	Risk score changes → Slack/Teams alerts
Shipment	Shipment/Invoice #, Carrier	BOLs, packing lists, customs entries	Orders, Lots, Customers	Dossier export; WhatsApp mobile alerts
Facility	Site ID	Permits, inspections	Lots, Work Orders	Inspection calendar sync
Regulation/Program	Program ID	Policies, controls, mappings	Evidence, Risks	Review reminders; Trello task generation

Rosella: AI‑assisted evidence and investigation

Rosella accelerates research, evidence assembly, and audit narratives:

• Convert unstructured docs (PDFs, emails, spreadsheets) into structured evidence records with citations.

• Draft due‑diligence summaries, corrective‑action plans, and customer communications in seconds.

• Reduce manual tracking and research time—see Rosella for capabilities and performance claims.

Integrations that matter for traceability

• ERP/Finance: NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks.

• HR/HCM for training attestations in evidence sets: Workday, ADP, BambooHR.

• Collaboration and notifications: Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Trello, Google Docs, Google Calendar.

KPIs and ROI you can defend

• Time saved on audit prep and evidence assembly; Parakeet highlights >40 hours/month reduction for compliance teams. See Features.

• Real‑time, data‑backed ROI and cost‑avoidance tracking: detention/chargeback avoidance, scrap and rework, expedite fees, and overtime impacts. See the ROI Calculator.

• Continuous assurance dashboards with automated alerts; examples across EHS, compliance, and supply chain in Solutions.

Security, integrity, and audit readiness

• Immutable audit trails on all evidence and workflow changes for defensible compliance.

• Electronic records/signatures and data‑integrity practices aligned to regulated environments (e.g., 21 CFR Part 11 contexts in Pharma).

• Centralized evidence and communication history across Slack/Teams/Trello for traceable decision making.

Getting started

1) Connect systems: ERP, QMS, quality docs, and collaboration tools via our integration library. 2) Import master data and history: items, BOMs, suppliers, lots, shipments. 3) Configure programs: Material Traceability, UFLPA folders, EUDR DDS templates, and Where‑Used/Where‑Shipped queries. 4) Automate evidence: use Rosella to generate binders, summaries, and corrective actions from your live data. 5) Operationalize: route exceptions to Slack/Teams, track tasks in Trello, and keep calendars in sync.

FAQ

• Does Parakeet replace our spreadsheets? No—teams can preserve proven spreadsheets while adding automation, validations, and audit trails; see Features.

• Can we prove who approved what and when? Yes. Every evidence change and approval is time‑stamped and attributed to a user with an immutable trail; see Pharma.

• How fast can we stand up traceability? Most teams begin with ERP and collaboration integrations, then layer UFLPA/EUDR templates and Where‑Used queries; book a demo via Manufacturing.
